REINVENTING life together (2020-2021)<\/h2>\n

It is true that we have problems, but we also have solutions. Many people are thinking up and experimenting with new ways of doing things. New ways of approaching culture, urban planning, environmental and social sustainability, the fight against poverty, participatory social design, the circular economy, tourism, and the integration of functional diversity, among other issues. The people involved in all these areas have been invited to take part in the REINVENTING life together<\/strong> cycle. The aim of the cycle is to inform and reflect on innovative responses to key social challenges that are being offered inside and outside of Malaga.<\/p>\n

In 2018, LABM\u00e1laga<\/strong> launched its activities with \u201cRadar. New ideas for a common future<\/a>\u201d. LABM\u00e1laga is a citizen’s laboratory promoted by the General Foundation of the University of M\u00e1laga and\u00a0<\/strong>La T\u00e9rmica<\/strong><\/a>, the Contemporary Culture Centre of M\u00e1laga Provincial Council.<\/p>\n

UPCOMING EVENTS<\/h5>\n

Landscape responsibility: a poetic perspective or commodity-driven fiction)<\/h3>\n

\"Lengua<\/p>\n

Landscape is both territory and culture. It is a habitat we are continually recreating with our collective vision \u2013 a vision that gives us knowledge, emotions and a sense of identity. The landscape contains a universe of meanings, and connects to all our sensual experiences. It is a universe we can nurture with our endeavours, with our experience of wandering through it, and with our efforts to revive it. In this sense, landscape is an invitation to inhabit the world poetically \u2013 and with this invitation comes the promise of a shared world.<\/p>\n

The landscape of Mediterranean cities and towns especially calls out for us to make it both enjoyable and community-based. Each particular landscape also presents unique elements that command respect, so that architectural designs and urban planning do not neglect or mismanage them, but rather engage with them. We have compelling reasons not to trivialize or adulterate the landscape, or diminish its wealth to the point of making it a marketable commodity for international tourism and the real estate market.<\/p>\n

A landscape without culture, sustainability or a sense of being part of it, becomes uninhabited and impoverished. Many artists, activists and citizens think this impoverishment is already happening in the city of M\u00e1laga. The resident population and traditional businesses are being driven from the historic centre. At the same time, M\u00e1laga is taking on the image of a global pastiche, comprising a London-style cityscape and Ferris wheel, Dubai-style skyscrapers to compete with the Agbar Tower in Barcelona, or fashionable areas and renowned museum franchises. In this session of “Reinventing Life Together”, our guest speakers include the landscape expert Rodolfo Caparr\u00f3s who will talk about the history, theory and moral condition of the landscape. He will be joined by the veteran writer and journalist Guillermo Busutil, who has become prominent in recent years for protecting Malaga’s landscape heritage.<\/p>\n

Rodolfo Caparr\u00f3s<\/h4>\n

Rodolfo Caparr\u00f3s is geographer and town planner who worked for many years in urban planning, land management, local and rural development, and geographic information technologies. His experience compounded his belief that landscape should be a meeting place between the land and those who inhabit it. He carries out research and develops projects related to landscape, some of which often clash with official or orthodox views. His most recent work is an inquiry into the moral obligation of the landscape \u2013 a professional and deontological work, but, above all, a civic work aiming to encourage action and mobilisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
